客户（一对从事IT工作的夫妇）在提鲁凡塔普兰提出了一个极其狭窄的场地作为他们设计任务的一部分。其固有的挑战是在283平方米的狭长场地上容纳117平方米的建筑面积，除去两侧的强制退让，只有4.8米（或仅仅是一个房间的宽度）的工作间隙。
The Clients (a couple working as IT engineers) presented an extremely narrow site in Thiruvanthapuram as part of their design brief. The inherent challenge was in accommodating a generous 117 sq.m. of built-up area on the elongated 283 sq.m. site, which upon excluding mandatory setbacks on the sides, elicits just 4.8 m (or a mere room-width) of working clearance.
客户（一对从事IT工作的夫妇）在提鲁凡塔普兰提出了一个极其狭窄的场地作为他们设计任务的一部分。其固有的挑战是在283平方米的狭长场地上容纳117平方米的建筑面积，除去两侧的强制退让，只有4.8米（或仅仅是一个房间的宽度）的工作间隙。
The resultant design solution delivered living, dining, and kitchen areas on the Ground Floor along with an ensuite bedroom. The First Floor accommodated the ensuite master bedroom with a balcony and a walk-in wardrobe, a living room for the Client to conduct mridangam (percussion instrument) classes, as well as an additional ensuite bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, which could also alternatively function as a Study. A full-sized car porch was not achievable given the paucity of plot space, but alternatively, a partially covered nook was devised affording all-weather access from the car to the front door.
尽管建筑围护结构比较狭窄，但内部空间并没有影响到光线和空气流通的进入和移动。设计还利用了场地的纵向坡度，通过顺应土地自然轮廓的阶梯式楼板，并在此过程中优化了地基成本。
Despite the narrowness of the building envelope, the interior spaces did not compromise on the ingress and movement of light and air circulation. The design also took advantage of the longitudinal slope of the site via a stepped-down floor plate following the natural contours of the land, and in the process optimized foundation costs.
一进入房子，人们就会被一个内部庭院所吸引，庭院里青翠的绿叶沐浴着来自头顶天窗的自然光。这个微型的 “绿洲 “提供了情感的焦点，在视觉上连接了两侧的客厅和餐厅空间。 简约的裸露混凝土楼梯环绕着绿色空间向上延伸，同时也通过其克制的凹陷和安静的突起的对比提供了视觉上的兴趣。
On entering the house, one is welcome by an internal courtyard whose verdant green foliage is bathed with natural light from the overhead skylight feature. This miniature ‘oasis’ provide the emotive focus, visually connecting the living room and dining space on either side. The minimalistic staircase in exposed concrete wraps around the green space leading upwards, whilst also providing visual interest via its restrained contrasting of recesses and quiet protuberances.
厨房位于场地的后部，位于一个较低的水平。在可能的情况下，谨慎地使用垂直扩展的内部体量，以及相互流动的功能三位一体的空间，如起居室、餐厅和厨房（并通过混凝土楼梯间垂直连接在一起），成功地否定了对狭窄的建筑和场地围护结构的体积限制的任何看法。 餐厅的双高配置与上层平面相连，突出了建筑的整体视觉体验。
The kitchen is located towards the rear of the site and sited at a lower level. The careful use of vertically expanded internal volumes where possible, and of a mutually inter-flowing functional triad of spaces such as the living, dining, and kitchen (and tied together vertically by the concrete stairwell) successfully negates any perception of the volumetric constrictions from the narrow building and site envelopes. The double-height configuration of the dining room connects with the upper floor plan and accentuates the overall visual experience of the building.
轻触式的极简主义方法也体现在各种室内设计元素中，如衣柜、书架、门窗等–所有这些都被缩减到了最低限度。卧室–通过精心的空间规划，虽然面积不大，但也有睡眠空间，以及一个综合学习区和步入式衣柜。上层的起居室有安装在屋顶的天窗，使空间具有温暖的特点，以配合其作为非正式的mridangam训练空间的预期用途。上层的主卧室通向阳台，阳台上的百叶窗提供了隐私和凉风，以及一天中令人振奋的光与影的相互作用。
The light-touch minimalist approach also finds expression in the various interior design elements like wardrobes, shelving, fenestrations, etc.– all pared back to the bare minimum required. The bedrooms- through with careful space planning, though small have space for sleeping as well as an integrated study area and walk-in wardrobes. The upper floor living room with its roof-mounted skylight endows the space with a warm character to complement its intended use as an informal mridangam training space. The upper floor master bedroom opens out to a balcony with louvers providing privacy and cool breezes, and an invigorating interplay of light and shadows across the day.
这座房子展示了有目的的空间设计和规划的力量，即使是在不太合适的地块上，也能提供巧妙的功能和魅力。
This house showcases the power of purposeful spatial design and planning to deliver deft functionality and charm, even inappreciably constrained plots.
